Feats

From FuturePath

Feats are like Talents except that instead of being associated with a specific Path or Class, Feats can be taken by anybody as long as the Character meets the Prerequisites. Feats are themed and organized into two categories, Tactical and Utility. Then those categories have sub-categoreis, ie: Ranged Combat or Space Ship Operations.

Feats are normally acquired when leveling up. The default levels of gaining feats for any character are every odd level starting with 1. At levels 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 the Character gains the choice between an ability modifier boost or a Bonus Feat. Bonus Feats specify the categories from which a Character can choose; this normally is anything in the Utility category.

Tactical Feats
Themed around combat and aggression, these feats almost exclusively focus on improving a Character's combat abilities.
Utility Feats
Themed around utility and functionality, these feats focus on enhancing existing abilities like skill checks and saving throws. They can also provide new options or actions a Character can do in or out of combat.
